I too didnt create one because I already had one. I was instantly approved for both early monday morning and have not received anything yet. Maybe the instantly approved one gets processed a little slower in card-making land for whatever reason? Anyhow, you can call and check with them using your SSN. I called 1-888-766-2484 Citi/AA card number listed on Citi website to check that my applications were ok. CSR transferred me to application department and another CSR looked them up using SSN, verified both my apps and offers.

It is just a "birthmark" I would like to tag on an application with Citi so I would know much quicker what status the app might be. I never use the newly created userid once the new card arrives. Just do the Add New Account thing to add the new card to the existing userid. (Biz cards cannot be mixed with personal cards though.)

Yeah, you're only eligible for the churner card, not only does it give you only 12,500 miles, but, you also have to pay the annual churner fee of $675, and it's also a prepaid card that requires you to load it with at least $1000, but, subject to a daily account maintenance fee of 5% of the remaining balance on the card. Overall not the best deal. It also seems that they run a hard credit inquiry on you once a week while you are a card member, and they even check your FDIMEIN as well. Check post 2375 for more info.

Citi application question
Hello again,
I just found my denial e-mail from Citi for an application I did in early September.
These are the reasons I was denied the Amex:
o Too few satisfactory credit references were recorded on
your credit bureau report.
o The consumer reporting agency serving your area
has reported only a limited credit history for you.
My credit history at the time was less than a year old and I have 3 credit cards. My creditkarma score is 752. Do you think I should reapply? It's been less than 60 days from my last application and I have a few inquiries in my acct. I have already a citi Forward card.
Will I have better luck if I try the business card?
Thanks,
Ngls

I was reassured today when I called to activate my personal visa card. The rep read to me that I was signed up for 75,000 AA miles if I spent $1,500 in the next 6 months.
I also got the pitch for the protection plan which I denied.

data point with info
well, after sitting on this one for a while, I signed up my wife, who also recently just received and has been using her 100k AA Citi Visa.
I personally am like barred from getting any more Citi cards for a while. I guess I need to wait a bit longer since my last approved one was less than 18 months ago. I realize some have been able to get new cards within shorter windows, but not I. Not yet. But me wife can, and now it's just a matter of time to see if her new app will be approved or not. If so, that's 75 more miles to be! Woo hoo!

Two applications, 2 months apart?
I did the 75K Amex application about 2 months ago and charged $1500 and got my 75k miles.
So I just tried the 75k Visa application. At Step 5, it told me to call, so I called 866-606-2787.
The guy just confirmed my address and security word and then put me on hold and now says another dept. will have to process the application and let me know within a week.
But I could call that dept. 888-201-4523, from 8-8 EST, to check on the status.
Anyone else get their application for a second personal card routed to this other dept?
Also, in Step 4, they said to sign up for optional features like online access. But they said if you already had an ID, you have to create a new one? Anyone with 2 Citi AAdvantage cards have to create two different logins for web access to their card?
Also anyone using Virtual Account Numbers feature for their cards? I didn't see it when I applied for my Amex but now I see they offer it.

Citi AMEX card does not have virtual account feature in the past. Also because it does not have virtual account feature, AMEX cannot be your default card at Citicards site if you have more than one card (the first card on the screen when you log in). You will find the virtual account feature under Tools and Services tab at the top of the screen.

I just applied for the AAdvantage visa (already have an AAdvantage master card that i've had for 3 years). When I clicked on the link, I didn't see anything about the milage credit. My application was approved, but no mention about miles - has this offer expired?

In other cases she got: A link that showed pictures of the cards and the miles they earn, and then that app page and so on.
Both have a slot in the app to add your AA#
I think she will get the miles in all 3 she applied for if they give her the cards.

I have applied for many a card with Citi over the years... and my wife has applied for 3 in recent times. One was like yours in this way: She applied through a link that was listed on a page saying it will earn the miles, but when clicked on, it merely brought her to the citi app page that we all see when filling things in.

Newb here.
I applied and was approved for both the Visa and Amex 75K cards on September 7. Can i get approved on the business card at this point? Worth a shot?
Thanks for the input, I've tried searching the thread but haven't been able to find anyone getting all three cards.

I applied for a personal visa and business visa at the end of July, and though it seemed like a longshot, decided to have a go at getting the personal amex in October. I got the "We will email you within a week with a decision" message. That was a week and a half ago, and I've heard nothing. Anyone else not actually hear back within a week? and did you then hear back eventually?
